Bought a five gallon jug of leaded 110 octane "VP" brand racing fuel. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
My motor seems to have higher than stock compression. Lowest is 160 PSI. My speed shop guy says the valves will like the lead. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif) Maybe I just like throwing money out my open windows at speed... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) KT |

The thing about AV Fuel, you have to remember where it's used. It has alot of additives, which some are, deicing agents, and other agents, for the higher altitudes, where the air is thin and cold.
Even though it has a higer octane, running it at sea level, will not get the same results, that race gas would provide. Even mixing it, would provide little or no benefit. Anyone that ran AV Fuel, what was the color of your tail pipe? And if you say white, that speaks for it self. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) |
